Fork Guards?
Hi
I have the red Zokes on my 2010 and want to keep them covered up. Any good fork guards? |

I guy that I ride with from time to time has a KTM with the black uppers, he cut a piece of black PVC pipe so that it snaps over the uppers. You cannot tell that they are there but they sure keep all the pings from rocks off. I think that I will try something with my 2011. What I am trying to describe is you cut the pipe a little over 1/2 so that it is like 200 degree and snaps over the forks.

I use clear background, that is probably the least expensive, but E-line or Moose make carbon fiber upper protectors. Your local shop should be able to get them from Parts Unlimited.

Like Jeremy said, here are the E-Line guards.

I too run the E line fork guards. I have since Gas Gas started putting black forks on these bikes. When I was recently shopping around for alternatives for my 2011 I found this company .http://www.lightspeedcarbon.net/index.php looks like good stuff for a bit less.
I still ended up with the E line ones as I know what quality they provide in fork guards. They are pretty thick and take a beating not sure about the lightspeed brand. Roscoe

Wrap the fork leg with friction tape first and they stay put when snapped on, keep dirt out and off the aluminum, and provides a little back padding.

For those on a budget - you can use thick mil carbon fiber patterned vinyl sheet to protect the fork leg. Looks great and doesn't have the issue with carbon fiber guards where dirt can get between the guard and the anodized aluminum - creating some nasty abrasion.
